DIY Book Scanner

I installed and build ST using the instructions on the sourceforge web site for using Xcode and MacPorts on OS X, found here:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/s ... n_Mac_OS_X

One of the instructions says that the cmake command should have the following as one of several parameters passed to cmake:

-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac-devel/bin/qmake .

I recently discovered that I was using an old beta version of QT 4.0, so I uninstalled it and then installed 4.7.3 via MacPorts. I just noticed that there is no /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac* directory. This is not a problem because qmake is in my path:

/Users/Jimbo
Command? which qmake
/opt/local/bin/qmake

I'm not sure whether this needs to be changed, or whether it is still appropriate for those who may be running development versions as opposed to stable releases, but I thought you might want to know.

Any reason not to delete the quoted environment variable from my environment.plist file?

I know little about building Scan Tailor on OSX, and obviously the Wiki page wasn't written by me. If you want to improve it, I can give you wiki editing rights.

I've never done any Wiki editing.

Well, here is you chance to learn it.
I also didn't have any experience before I set up Scan Tailor's wiki. It's not hard.

Question for those building from source - is there a demand for building Scan Tailor from the latest SVN version, rather than the point release? Homebrew, another package manager for OS X, can build Scan Tailor from the latest point release: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/m ... ntailor.rb

I was wondering about adding an SVN checkout option to it.

Okay, I'll try. Please PM the info. Thanks.

I guess I'd better make sure I can still build from source with all the changes made recently for static linking!

P.S. No problem building for OS X after all those changes for static linking.
